If you are confused about how to eat kale, this Kale Salad Recipe will be a great start. For a while I never knew how to use kale. The only use I could find for it was juicing it with a ton of other veggies. Since kale is a superfood, I knew it was a wonderful vegetable to add to my diet.
This kale salad recipe will make you ask why you haven’t been eating kale every day! I personally like to make this salad on Sundays and eat it all week long. It’s a wonderful lunch (throw some chicken on top) or great with dinner.

Heard of kale, but never knew how to eat it? This salad is the best way to get your daily dose of greens in!
Ingredients
- Salad
- 1 bunch of kale
- ½ red onion, chopped
- ½-3/4 cup sliced almonds
- Dressing
- ¾ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup red wine vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon garlic, minced
- ½ Tablespoon red pepper flakes
- 1 Tablespoon onion powder
Instructions
- For Salad
- 1. Separate kale, and remove leaves from stems. Rinse well.
- 2. Fill a pot with water and place a double boiler on top.
- 3. Steam the kale for about 1-2 minutes. You want it to be softer than it began, but the texture is really up to you.
- 4. Place kale in freezer for 5-10 minutes, if you want cold salad. (I prefer cold)
- 5. Add red onion and almonds and toss salad.
- 6. Top with dressing.
- For dressing
- 1. Mix ingredients and store in fridge.
Notes
- It is very important to steam the kale. This is the key ingredient in making the kale taste delish! The dressing makes enough dressing for a weeks worth of salads. I make this amount of dressing because I like to have extra, and then there's no excuse to use a store-bought dressing!
